As we age, our bodies decelerate the production of elastin and collagen. Once we reach our twenties, we start to lose collagen at the rate of 1% every year, leading to sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and dullness.
Bio-stimulating ingredients, such as PLLA, have gained immense popularity in the aesthetic industry for their anti-ageing, skin rejuvenating properties. They give the skin a much-needed boost, triggering collagen production for healthier and younger-looking skin.
What is PLLA?
PLLA, or Poly-L-Lactic Acid, is a biodegradable and biocompatible ingredient that triggers the body’s natural collagen production process. It offers a longer-term solution to skin rejuvenation, working on a cellular level to improve the skin’s health, quality, and appearance.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable designed to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. It stimulates collagen production for skin regeneration, resulting in fewer fine lines and wrinkles, tighter and smoother skin, and a youthful complexion.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra can last up to two years as it stimulates the body’s collagen production instead of adding volume under the skin like some temporary fillers. The results typically take longer to appear as the body undergoes its natural cellular regeneration process, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
The longevity of the results also differs with each client, depending on their metabolism, lifestyle, and age.
How Do PLLA Treatments Work?
A PLLA injectable, such as Sculptra, is injected into areas of concern by a licensed professional. This could be the temples for crow’s feet; the cheeks and jaw for sagging or hollowed skin; or around the mouth for smile lines. The PLLA prompts fibroblast cells to trigger the production of collagen and elastin, leading to cellular regeneration and an improved complexion.

What’s the Difference Between PLLA and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are an excellent option for typically younger clients seeking temporary facial enhancements, such as volume, plumper skin and sharper contours. Over time, the (biocompatible) HA filler will disperse under the skin, requiring top-up appointments.
PLLA fillers are a semi-permanent solution for skin regeneration. Rather than providing the skin with added volume, they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting rejuvenative results.
